Out of this world! New James Webb telescope images provide evidence of hidden planets around a nearby star.
Astronomers used the James Webb Space Telescope to observe the first asteroid belt seen outside of our solar system and unveiled some cosmic surprises along the way.
Webb's new view revealed Fomalhaut's two inner belts for the first time, which didn't appear in previous images taken by the Hubble Space Telescope or other observatories. Then, the dust was shaped into belts by the gravitational influence of what the researchers believe are unseen planets that orbit the star, the same way Jupiter and Neptune shape our asteroid belt and the inner edge of the Kuiper Belt.
